Resumen del Editor

How People Grow reveals why all growth is spiritual growth and how you can grow in ways you never thought possible.

Our desire to grow runs deep. Yet the issues in our lives and relationships that we wish would change often stay the same, even with our best efforts at spiritual growth. What does it take to experience increasing strength and depth in our spiritual walk, our marriages and family lives and friendships, our personal development - in everything life is about? And how can we help others move into growth that is profound and lasting?

Unpacking the practical and passionate theology that forms the backbone of their counseling, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend shatter popular misconceptions about how God operates to reveal how growth really happens.

You'll discover:

• What the essential processes are that make people grow
• How those processes fit into a biblical understanding of spiritual growth and theology
• How spiritual growth and real-life issues are one and the same
• What the responsibilities are of pastors, counselors, and others who assist people in growing
• What your own responsibilities are in your personal growth

Shining focused light on the great doctrines and themes of Christianity, How People Grow helps you understand the Bible in a way that will help you head with confidence down the high road of growth in Christ.

Really good but too abridged

Lots to learn but all the examples and important helpful details were stripped from the book. Still worth listening to though.

Let go to Grow is part of the theme of this book.

This is a great book. The authors straighten us out on the idea that we can just decide and do better. We need to surrender to God and turn in his direction. We must understand and embrace our brokenness.

Love this book! It is useful immediately!

This was very easy to understand and I wish I read it a long time ago. Excellent for really understanding what's important and what isn't in a way you can easily understand immediately apply. Recommended to a friend just starting a relationship with God and He was very thankful, it answered many of his questions and inspired him to keep going. I will probably listen to this a few times.

Not the entire book!

This recording is not the entire book. While the information is still wonderful, it is not the entire book.
This should have been notated on the image or in its description!

Very insightful & helpful for teaching & experiencing personal growth

I purchased this book for insight into the process of maturity because I missed many of these stages as an adult child of alcoholics. When I saw it on Audible, I thought this would be a good book to listen to as well as read in paperback.

I found myself going back and replaying certain sections to help them sink in. This was so helpful! Listening to the authors read gave me the sense that they were right beside me, individually and lovingly coaching me. One surprise I experienced was that different wording and explanation of concepts/truths helped me immensely in areas of my recovery program where I was stuck.

Excellent Read!

Rich, meaningful & great takeaways to use! Helps link the spiritual & thinking parts of our brain & heart.

Awesome listen!

There is a lot of meat to chew on in this book. The doctors have a great balance of scripture and psychological answers to problems.

Awesome

i was half asleep when i listened to it, but i believe he knows what he's feeling about. he's able to articulate and provide solutions for things i've struggled with and haven't been able to talk to people about, even therapists.

Amazing very insightful!!

these guys deliver on biblical explanations why some people grow and some don't. they look at the WHYS under microscope - very good book!!!!
